The Chiefs wore Free 4 shirts for Rashee Rice before the home opener vs. Philadelphia, a gesture Andy Reid labeled as affection for a teammate, not a political statement about the NFL. Rice sits out six games due to a personal conduct policy violation from a 2024 Dallas crash. He had 79 catches as a rookie in 2023, and despite an injury-shortened 2024, he posted postseason numbers. He can return October 19 against the Raiders.

The offer pairs with a Week 3 slate headlined by the 0-2 Chiefs vs Giants on Sunday Night Football, plus Bears, Cowboys, Rams, and Eagles providing fantasy and betting angles.

Week 2 spotlight: Philadelphia used the tush push to push past Kansas City 20-17, amplifying the short-yardage attack and sparking a nationwide debate about officiating and safety. Mahomes’ offense stumbled, while Hurts and the Eagles rode a relentless frontline to hand KC its first 0-2 start since 2014. The Packers’ off-season ban discussion and headlines around Sirianni’s up-front scheme kept the conversation fiery across fantasy circles and sportsbook chatter.

Fantasy take: Philly’s ground game and Hurts’ rushing TD upside elevate their ceiling in upcoming matchups, while KC’s stagnant start could swing late-season value for Chiefs pass-catchers. With divisional dynamics and coach-led schemes at play, rostering Eagles with a focus on goal-line plays and QB rushing remains a high-leverage angle in the weeks ahead.
